About
Phoenix Way Art is a woman owned art and décor shop specializing in travel posters, prints and cards.
Liza Kelley Sperry began Phoenix Way Art to explore the graphic Art Deco era, specifically the Swiss poster design of the 1920s and 1930s. Her training in graphic design from Maine College of Art & Design has greatly influenced her style. She works outside her home studio in Portland, Maine, home of the Phoenix.
Liza grew up in Monson, Maine in the the heart of the Borestone mountain region roaming around 500 acres of family owned land. This area was famously explored by HD Thoreau, photographed by Bernice Abbot and continues to be rich with artists and artisans with it's newly established Art Galleries and Studio spaces.
Her work is deeply inspired from the natural beauty of this area. Acadia, Casco Bay, Katahdin, Moosehead Lake and Onawa are just a few of the locations highlighted in their work. Through her love of Maine and it's natural beauty, she donates 1% of all sales to environmentally focused organizations throughout the state—including the Natural Resources Council of Maine and the Nature Conservancy of Maine.

The shop includes offset printed posters, prints, cards, stationery, totes, apparel. All products are made and printed in Maine and New England.
